Former CIA intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante, who recently appeared as a guest on the popular Indian podcast “Figuring Out with Raj Shamani”, has issued a serious warning about the future of America. His predictions are alarming enough that he plans to leave the United States by 2027 to protect his family from what he believes is coming.

Bustamante, known for his deep understanding of intelligence, geopolitics, and global power shifts, has gained worldwide attention after discussing U.S.–China relations, national instability, and the increasing risk of a modern World War. His conversation with Raj Shamani, along with his appearance on Steven Bartlett’s The Diary of a CEO, has amplified these warnings across the globe.
Andrew Bustamante on Raj Shamani’s Podcast: Why His Message Matters
During his appearance on “Figuring Out with Raj Shamani”, hosted by Indian entrepreneur and podcaster Raj Shamani, Bustamante discusses major global threats and how power dynamics are shifting faster than most people realize.
The viral clip from the podcast highlights topics such as:
- Economic competition between the U.S. and China
- America’s declining global influence
- Threats associated with dual superpowers
- Rising chances of proxy warfare
- How families can prepare for geopolitical instability
This additional insight provides a broader, international perspective on his warnings—especially relevant to Indian and global audiences watching America’s shifting position in world affairs.
America Is Entering a Troubled Phase, Says Former CIA Officer
Bustamante describes the U.S. as a nation going through a painful transformation.
“We are a young country… suffering in terms of trying to identify ourselves.”
He believes the U.S. is facing:
- Internal political instability
- Social division
- Economic uncertainty
- Weakening global influence
According to him, America is experiencing the early stages of “national adolescence,” and this identity crisis could last many years. For Bustamante, this instability could affect the freedoms and opportunities available to the next generation—especially his own children.
U.S.–China Rivalry: The Most Dangerous Global Conflict
One of Bustamante’s strongest arguments, shared both on Raj Shamani’s show and Steven Bartlett’s podcast, is that the United States and China are on track to reach economic parity.
He explains:
“The world is accustomed to one superpower. Once there are two superpowers, everything changes.”
A dual-superpower world means:
- Two dominant global languages
- Two currencies competing for world leadership
- Two spheres of influence
- Heightened international tension
He warns that once China reaches full parity with the U.S., both nations will become each other’s primary strategic target, placing American citizens in a highly vulnerable position.
Could China Surpass the U.S.? Bustamante Thinks It’s a Real Possibility
Bustamante believes the second possible scenario is even more dangerous: China overtaking the U.S. economically.
If that happens, America will likely try to regain dominance, causing a constant cycle of:
- Economic clashes
- Strategic competition
- Global influence battles
This “back-and-forth race” between two superpowers will create global instability that impacts everyday life.
“World War III Has Already Begun” – Bustamante’s Bold Claim
One of his most controversial statements—mentioned in multiple podcast discussions—is his belief that World War III is already happening, but not in the way people expect.
“It’s a war of proxy nations… smaller countries fighting, funded by larger countries in conflict.”
He describes today’s world as being in a state of:
- Cyberwarfare
- Economic warfare
- Information warfare
- Political manipulation
- Proxy military conflicts
This model of silent, indirect warfare is harder to detect but potentially more dangerous than traditional battlefields.
Why He Plans to Leave America by 2027
Bustamante has made it clear that his decision to leave the U.S. is based on long-term safety, stability, and economic strategy. He wants his family to live in a country that is:
- Neutral
- Less likely to be targeted
- Economically stable
- Geopolitically safe
He believes the U.S. will become increasingly vulnerable as the power struggle with China intensifies.
The Global Impact of Bustamante’s Predictions
His insights have gained serious attention, especially after his feature on Raj Shamani’s “Figuring Out” podcast, where a large Indian audience engaged with his warnings about geopolitics, intelligence, and global strategy.
People across the world—especially in India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia—are now asking:
- Is the U.S. entering a decline?
- Will China become the next dominant world leader?
- Are we already living through World War III?
- Should families prepare for major global shifts?
These questions reflect the growing concern triggered by Bustamante’s deeply informed predictions.
Final Thoughts
Andrew Bustamante’s decision to leave America by 2027 is not a random or emotional choice—it is rooted in intelligence analysis, geopolitical forecasting, and decades of experience. His appearance on “Figuring Out with Raj Shamani” has brought these warnings to a massive global audience, making his message impossible to ignore.
Whether his predictions come true or not, Bustamante’s warnings highlight the urgent need to understand global power shifts, economic competition, and the silent wars shaping our future.
